That’s a great analogy

I always used to find the first month in a new job tiring just from the stimulation…

Indian cultures would like a word about saving the swastika. I know a few folks who happily have it due to their ‘claim of prior art’ (or whatever the term is).

Not at all! Maybe consider why spending money on trivial, painful and permanent art isn’t helpful when one is likely paid poorly.

I do get caught up in the thinking that people are trying to join a club by looking like a ‘type’, but that’s just my own shallow and judgmental thinking…

Yeah, that’s fair.

I can be really judgemental and its something I’m trying to work on because I hate how it becomes a focus on what’s around me. Thanks for pointing out another avenue, I guess

I’m aware of some bias on this matter - so it’s a little difficult to separate, but think I judge people on their clipart tattoos, or performative ego/masculinity.

If you’ve gota dreamcatcher on your thigh/calf and what appears to be a child’s name in flowing script underneath your ear, I’ll judge you.

If you’re a 24ish barista covered in tatts, yeah I’ll not think highly of your choices.

With tattos, you’re not joining a team (unless it’s a gang tatt, and that’s a whole other situation, lol). Yet people keep getting clip art rubbish because it’s cool.

I’ve been thinking of investing in tattoo removal businesses, to be honest!

Just a perfect example of how business perverts the incentives and ruins everything

This whole chain of comments had been frankly, amazing

It probably. Is, but it’s the fruit (seeds?) - I guess tea needs to be leaves, maybe?

Peppermint tea is the shizz.

I’ve been taking decent amounts of ginseng oolong for years, but caffeine’s horrible stuff really. I loved the way it coated the mouth like coffee and spirits do

Nice. I knew the rage against the machine cover, but bob dylan was a cool cat

I think I’ve just about managed to give up caffeine. At least, I’ve had my first backslide this week - who’s perfect, right?

Hopefully our trading partners can provide a little squeeze or at least register their displeasure. I find it surprising the islands haven’t responded (but wouldn’t put it past the current regime to be willfully ignoring such feedback)

Blue, then they become purple - you were right all along

You monster!

This one gets it!

For me there’s something really dirty and shameful about their 2nd face

Is that a monologue in a movie by any chance? Infeel like it’s some sort of fight club-esque reference but can’t

So they’ve got conflicting priorities - that’s just great!

Do you manage to intentionally replace them with other songs?

My wife and I have a devious game of starting usually no more than a bar of some trashy song to exploit this tendency, but I find it tends to backfire. Still silly fun, though

Gandhi’s flip-flops? Fuck that’s dry…

Amazing verbiage, fanks!
